First and most important, understand that a person cannot decide they do not like fat on a particular part of their body and then go ahead and begin an exercise plan with the goal of SPOT REDUCING. That is not how it works. When a person wants to address problem areas, they must remember that visible fat, and excess weight is a signal from nature that something has to change in your life, whether it’s eating cleaner, exercising more or both! Poor diets and lack of exercise will result in excess visible fat that makes us feel self conscious and sluggish. Adding strength training, regular cardio and cleaning up the foods you consume will make a big difference in a short amount of time. Too many people are missing one of those three factors in their fitness regimen which results in unwanted body fat! In all areas! As you start to incorporate better food choices, and begin to exercise, you will lose weight in all the areas you need to! Why start a fitness plan with the goal of fixing one problem area? Shouldn’t you want to look and feel good all over?

Nevertheless, to get rid of body fat in your upper and/or lower back region and eliminate cellulite, I suggest you do 3-4 days of cardio 30 minutes in duration, clean up your diet, paying good attention to your intake of sodium, and ensure you start on a strength training program that may emphasize your core region. You should strength train 3 x per week for 30 minutes. Your reps should be 12-15 for 3 sets. Keep in mind this routine will eliminate fat ALL OVER YOUR BODY – not just your trouble zones! This schedule is great and versatile, because the strength and cardio workouts can be done on the same day, or broken up into 6 separate 30 minute workouts, with one full day of rest! Remember start slow and finish strong! Any new change in your life must take place gradually to last!

As Always,
Stay Focused Until the Miracle Happens!
